IPL For Acne

The Intense pulsed light system releases light that destroys the ‘P bacteria’ that live in the skin and cause inflammation and directly targets the overactive sebaceous glands that cause outbreaks of pustules.

This targeted heating deep in the skin causes shrinkage of the inflamed sebaceous glands and helps to prevent over-production of excess sebum. IPL, “Intense Pulse Light” is one of the safest acne treatments available. proven to be extremely effective on moderate inflammatory acne. With the IPL system having FDA clearance for the treatment of acne, this new light-based therapy is now revolutionizing the treatment of it.

Who is suitable for the treatment?

This is a safe procedure which can be performed on Men and Women including teenagers suffering from mild to moderate Acne.

If you have cystic Acne this treatment is not suitable.

How many treatments are required?

The treatment is done gradually over a period of time, although you will see results after the first session.

We recommend a minimum of 6 treatments spaced out every 3-4 weeks.

Are there any possible side effects?

Your skin will be slightly red and tender after the treatment. other than that there’s no real downtime involved.
